Wine of-the-Month Club is South Africa’s oldest and biggest direct to the customer wine club, offering the best wines online with something for everyone and at every budget.
This family-run business was conceived by Colin Collard in 1986 and proudly celebrates its 35th anniversary next year. It currently has more than 30 000 members with the impressive recent growth in subscribers as more and more South Africans do their shopping online.
The 12-strong panel who judge each week comprises some legendary names in the wine business including Collard himself as well as Cape Wine Master Christine Rudman, who has more than 40 years’ experience in the industry and 12 Apostles sommelier Gregory Mutambe. They take the hard work out of choosing wonderful wines for those who are intimidated to try anything new or those who want to discover some of the best this country has to offer.
WOTMC started off 34 years ago with just one club, but this has now expanded to five different clubs, so there’s something for every palate and purse, including:
• Best Value Club: High-scoring, good-value-for-money wine.
• Wine-of-the-Month Club: High-scoring wine where the price is also a consideration.
• The Reserve Club: Winning wine selected regardless of price. For a wine to be selected into this club it must have ranked first in the blind tasting.
• The Platinum Club: Award-winning well-known brands selected regardless of price.
• Four Seasons Wine Club: 12 bottles of wine for every season.
Members can choose six or 12 bottle packs which are delivered every two, three or four months. They can also specify if they want a case of red only, white only or a mixed case. Included in the pack of curated and panel-selected wines is a free copy of SA Connoisseur: An Insider’s Guide to Wine magazine; detailed neck tags for each wine which include where the wine is from, tasting notes, suggested food pairings and when best to drink it.
Club membership can be cancelled, paused or changed at any time and there is a money-back guarantee.

I’d like to join the wine of the month club to purchase 6 to 12 wines per month. How do I go about doing that?
